Email Tool
The Email tool allows you to use a data stream to send emails for each record. This tool allows attachments and email generated reports. The Email tool is always the last tool to run in a workflow.
Use a combination of the other reporting tools upstream to add text, images, maps, and tables to your emails. See Reporting Tools.
Alteryx public gallery compatibility
Planning to publish your workflow to gallery.alteryx.com? You must first apply for an exemption. This restriction does not apply to private instances of Alteryx Server and Alteryx Gallery.
Configure the tool
- Enabled: Selected by default. If not selected, the tool will be disabled and no emails will be sent, but the tool retains all other configuration properties.
- SMTP: Enter your SMTP server manually. The SMTP setting uses port 25 by default.
If the SMTP server uses a port other than the default 25, append a colon and the port number to the server name.
If using a specific SMTP server that is different from the recipient domain, errors come back in an email to the sender from the System Administrator outlining the problem.
Removed functionality: Autodetect SMTP
To address security concerns, the Autodetect SMTP capability has been removed. Existing workflows that use the capability are still functional.
